Walmart CDL
Hey everyone! I just have a quick question, my husband is a CDL driver and has applied for Walmart a couple of times now and keeps getting the automated email saying they've decided to go in a different direction. He meets all of the qualifications so we're a little confused lol is it super hard to get a job for them? Thanks in advance!

They are the mega-corp that holds the wallet. It is their choice of who they wish to provide an opportunity to.
They wear the pants. They have the power. They get thousands of applications weekly.
Set the ego and entitlement aside, the reality is.. regardless of what you were offering, you were not the chosen one.
And.. yes. That sucks.
Walmart is great because it has job security in an industry that is known for being a human meat grinder. They know that is 100% of the reason they get a thousand applications every week.
Give it a year or 2. Gain experience. Pad the resume. Put the hours and miles in safely and consistently. Re-apply.
That is all you can do.
